摘要
We demonstrate a compact and robust method for generating a 399-nm light resonant on the S-1(0) - P-1(1) transition in ytterbium using a single-pass periodically poled LiNbO3 waveguide for second harmonic generation (SHG). The obtained output power at 399 nm was 25 mW when a 798-nm fundamental power of 380 mW was coupled to the waveguide. We observed no degradation of the SHG power for 13 hours with a low power of 6 mW. The obtained SHG light has been used as a seed light for injection locking, which provides sufficient power for laser cooling ytterbium. (C) 2016 Optical Society of America
